Rothschild board approves Waste Management contract amendment through 2030
Summary
Village Administrator Ryan VanDeWalle presented a draft amendment to the Waste Management contract that adjusts per‑container rates; the board approved the amendment 7–0, with staff reporting the negotiated rates meet the board’s neighbor‑comparison threshold.
Village Administrator Ryan VanDeWalle presented a draft amendment to the Village’s contract with Waste Management covering 2027–2030, and the Board approved the amendment unanimously.
VanDeWalle said the amendment retains the same contractual language discussed on April 13 but alters the per‑container rate charged for garbage and recycling cans. He told the board he worked with a Waste Management representative (identified in the minutes as “Chad at Waste Management”) to reduce pricing to a threshold comparable with neighboring communities so the Village could continue the contract extension while saving residents money. The minutes summarize the presentation but do not list specific dollar figures or per‑unit rates.
Trustee Bill Schremp moved to approve the contract amendment, Trustee Paul Kennedy seconded, and the motion carried 7–0. The minutes do not record a timeline for implementation of the new rates; staff follow‑up will be required to publish the updated customer rates.
